1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
Went to Valleyfair and rode Wild Thing. Man was that scary. Plus this was the first year I went to a Haunted Halloween event and wasn't totally scared. I used to be a big wimp when it came to that type of stuff, but this year it was fun. I found out that fog and strobe lights can be really bothersome though. Oh well. I can't think of anything else I have done. Shame on me.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I know I kept some of them. I have been working harder to clean up the house more often and to make sure Stryker is well taken care of, but I kept falling short on the lose weight resolution. I kept starting it and then get distracted and stop. I hate that. Hopefully in 2012 I can really stick to it and lose a few pounds.
3. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?
Playing D and D with the guys. It landed on our D and D night, so it will be nice to have the guys over, eating pizza, and trying not to die. I pray Joel doesn't kill us.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My Great Grandma Louise died and one of our old neighbors passed away this year. And there were the few people in the fandom who passed away, but I didn't know them well enough.
Aheria did make my icon and that is why I haven't changed it in a long time.
5. What countries did you visit?
None. I stayed here in the states.
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Would be nice to upgrade some things. We only managed to get a flat screen tv, because our friend couldn't take it with her when she moved. I would love to buy something bigger. But I need a better job first. I guess more money and more commissions would be nice too. I like feeling busy and without commissions it is hard to feel busy. Buy latchhook from me! JK. I hope I get the job I want.
7. What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The dates from MFF 11 were good days. It was my first real trip in awhile. If I get the job I want I can start putting aside money for better trips. Also April 23rd, because that is the mark of 2 years since I met Stryker and May 1at marks 2 years of being engaged.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Finding out what I was good at artwise. My big thing is Latchhook and this year I got it started. That was a big accomplishment for me. I hope to expand that more in the coming years.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not keeping up with my attempts to lose weight and the constant feeling of getting kicked down as one thing after another went wrong. I won't go deep into detail, but it always seemed that things went bad a lot this year. But there is hope for next year. Wish me luck.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I had a scare when I had constant issues with my stomach and thought it might be my gullbladder, but since my insurance went on hiatus I have been unable to go and do anymore checks to see what is wrong. Hopefully I can get that fixed in January also. I hate having to fix things though. Other than that just the typical nicks, cuts, and bruises. Nothing to worry about though. Also had my class ring cut off my ring finger. If had gotten so tight that the muscle wasn't growing so it was time to remove it. I feel so much better now.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
I bought a new laptop. My old one got a nasty virus and was 6 years old, so it was time for an upgrade. I am so happy to have it. I also bought a laminator which is so nice to have.
12. Where did most of your money go?
Rent and Bills. I was lucky to get money to play with when taxes came and I got money for Christmas or Birthday. Like I've been saying it will be nice to have a job where I can pay bills, have fun, and save all at the same time.
13. What song will always remind you of 2011?
"Firework" I don't know why, but I like this song. It helps me feel special when I am feeling down.
14. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Exercise. I hate huffing and puffing when climbing up only 2 flights of stairs. *Grumbles*
15. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Constantly worrying. Honestly I can't go a day without worrying about something. It sucks. I wish I didn't worry so, but if I stopped bad things would happen. It sucks so much.
16. What was your favorite TV program?
I had two favorite shows; My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Terra Nova. I love ponies, because duh it's ponies, but Terra Nova combined Dinosaurs and the doom of mankind. It is a great series and I look forward to the second season.
17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Sad thing is I have people from last year I still hate and some new ones I hate. Mostly, because they are either A.) Creepy or B.) Way to full of themselves. I hate people like that. This is why I keep distant from them and avoid them at all costs.
18. What was the best book you read?
I finished The Last Unicorn. I am starting on the Percy Jackson series right now. I am so excited to read it.
19. What was your greatest musical discovery?
To be honest I'm not sure. I know Stryker got me into quite a few more bands this year. I forget their names though. They were nice to listen to though.
20. What was your favorite film of this year?
I really enjoyed Green Lantern. That is one of the few I can remember seeing in theaters.
21. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
My mom visited before my birthday and left the actual day of. It was Spring Break she had no control over it. I got a Packer Jersey and some other pretty things. I turned 25 this year. 26 is just around the corner.
22. What kept you sane?
My mate Stryker, our roommate, Joel, my grandma, and my mom. All of them have really kept me sane and going on this battle of life.
23. Who did you miss?
I miss my mom. She is a whole state away from me and it does suck when my only way of communicating with her is on the phone. It can be hard. I also miss my dog. He will be put to sleep next month and it is so hard to say goodbye. I love my puppy.
24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011:
Stay positive. That is all it takes to get by in life. Be positive, cut out all the bad and go with the flow. No need to stress over everything. Also Skyward Sword is the best game of 2011!!!!
